The wedding of star Indian women’s cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has been postponed indefinitely after her father Shrinivas fell ill in the lead-up to the ceremony, which was scheduled to take place in Sangli, Maharashtra on Sunday.
Mandhana is emotionally attached to her father, who has been a constant source of support in her cricketing journey.
Mandhana’s father hospitalised
Tuhin Mishra, the manager of Mandhana, said the World Cup-winning cricketer’s father suffered the health complication early on Sunday morning.
Who is Palash Muchhal?
Palash Muchhal is an Indian music composer, songwriter, and filmmaker who rose to prominence in Bollywood at a young age. He is the younger brother of singer Palak Muchhal and is known for composing music for films like Dishkiyaoon and Bhoothnath Returns. Muchhal is also a filmmaker who has directed numerous music videos and is currently directing the film Raju Bajewala.
Mandhana’s father has his cardiac enzymes elevated
“At around 1.30 pm, Mr Srinivas Mandhana got left-sided chest pain, we call it ‘angina’ in medical term. As the symptoms surfaced, his son called me, we sent ambulance, he was shifted to hospital. We found out in ECG, other reports, that cardiac enzymes are elevated, hence we need to keep him in observation,” he told PTI.
“Blood Pressure is also elevated, efforts are on to lower it. The whole team is monitoring. If situation exacerbates, we will have to do angiography. Smriti and her family is in contact with us, hopefully he will be stable by tomorrow.” A week-long celebrations were already going on in Sangli, her hometown, in Maharashtra ahead of the much-anticipated nuptial knot ceremony.
